Eichler for sale in Concord, CA
Another Eichler has just hit the market, this time in Concord, California. The 4 bedroom/2 bathroom home has 1530 square feet and was built in 1965. It appears to be in excellent condition and is listed at $530,000. The only downside I can see is that it has no air conditioning, but I realize my perspective is colored by living in Texas. That would definitely be an issue here, but it may not be in an area where maximum temperatures rarely exceed the upper 80s.

so well ventilated ...i am drooling over all natural light streaming in, and cross ventilation..for CA weather.. im sure that is enough...env friendly as well...such a dreamy place
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about Eichler homes is all the glass and natural light. This one is beautiful!
DeleteIt gets pretty darn hot here in concord. We don't have AC, and we manage, but there are plenty of days that I wish we had it.
ReplyDeleteHere in Texas, we have many, many days in the summer where the temperature hovers around 105 or more. People without air conditioning can face serious health risks. I might find an Eichler home in California very comfortable even without a/c.
Deleteyeah. no a/c's a huge issue in the east bay, sadly. here in the tri-valley, it gets to 110 in the summer. shame about the bad updates but thanks for bringing this to our attention. always nice to see a local one up.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to know about the climate in the area, because the handful of Internet searches I did about the area showed average temperatures in July to be in the upper 80s. That's OK without a/c, but 110 definitely isn't!
DeleteAgree with Bixx about the updates. They're so "un-Eichler" it takes away from the whole spirit of living in an Eichler home.
ReplyDeleteI'm not as much a purist about remodels as some people are, although I respect that point of view. I base my opinion on the fact that most of the architects at the time were using cutting edge materials, and I can't help but believe that if they were alive to supervise renovations of their designs today, they'd recommend the latest updates in appliances, countertops, flooring and fixtures. To me, an unthinkable renovation of an Eichler would be to enclose and atrium or get rid of all the glass or to cover up the wood ceilings.
